Wiring fundamentals
3.3.1 Cable size
Select the recommended cable size to ensure that a voltage drop will be 2% max.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause the motor torque
to decrease especially at the output of a low frequency.
The following tables indicate a selection example for the wiring length of 20m.
200V class, FR-A820 (when input power supply is 220V based on the rated current for 150% overload for 1 minute)
*1
For the FR-A820-03160(55K) or lower the recommended cable size is that of the HIV cable (600V class 2 vinyl-insulated cable) with
continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes that the surrounding air temperature is 50°C or less and the wiring
distance is 20m or less.
For the FR-A820-03800(75K) or higher the recommended cable size is that of the LMFC cable (heat resistant flexible cross-linked
polyethylene insulated cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 90°C. Assumes that the surrounding air
temperature is 50°C or less and wiring is performed in an enclosure.
*2
The recommended cable size is that of the THHW cable with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes that
the surrounding air temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less.
(Selection example for use mainly in the United States.)
*3
For the FR-A820-00770(15K) or lower the recommended cable size is that of the PVC cable with continuous maximum permissible
temperature of 70°C. Assumes that the surrounding air temperature is 40°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less.
For the FR-A820-00930(18.5K) or higher the recommended cable size is that of XLPE cable with continuous maximum permissible
temperature of 90°C. Assumes that the surrounding air temperature is 40°C or less and wiring is performed in an enclosure. (Selection
example for use mainly in Europe.)
*4
The terminal screw size indicates the terminal size for R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, PR, PX, P/+, N/–, P1, P3, and a screw for earthing.
The screw size for PR and PX terminals of FR-A820-00340(5.5K) and FR-A820-00490(7.5K) is indicated in brackets.
The screw size for earthing of FR-A820-00930(18.5K) or higher is indicated in brackets.
